The City of Philadelphia has almost 200 parks, which serve as the back yards, playgrounds, and retreats for its residents. Whether the parks are woody arboretums or paved squares, a few hundred square feet in size or thousands of acres, in the middle of a commercial district or tucked back behind houses, the diversity of the remarkable network of parks both reflects and effects the neighborhoods and citizens of Philadelphia. This website is your electronic gateway to the wonderful green spaces of Philadelphia's parks. This site will help you discover the parks near you, keep abreast of what's happening in city parks, and meet and interact with other park lovers.
